Descriere: A powerful new movement is sweeping across America: Christian men are coming together to make a difference in their families, churches, businesses, and communities.They are helping one another acknowledge a deep-seated need and hunger for spiritual nourishment and Christian fellowship. They are "sharpening" one another's understanding of what it means to be a man today.The first book of daily meditations created expressly for men in search of spirituality, Promises to Keep draws together the words of hundreds of prominent Christian authors and leaders. Offering inspiration and motivation, this little treasure provides the spiritual dimensions lacking in the lives of so many and proves that men can be strong and tender, can lead without tyranny, can be authoritative without arrogance, and can have relationships with each other that are full of meaning, insight, and even love.

1, Imagine a universe where every fleeting moment holds a glimmer of magic, waiting to be discovered. A glimmer is a small or fleeting, positive moment hidden within daily life. Whether it's singing kitchen karaoke while washing up, catching a fleeting whiff of your favourite scent or belly-laughing with an old friend, as we learn to recognize and cultivate these glimmers, we unlock the beneficial effects for mental health and well-being. Just noticing these moments of magic in your day can signal to your nervous system that you're safe and can relax, increase optimism and provide a break from uncomfortable emotions. Author Hayley Doyle speaks to the doctors and therapists who utilize the huge potential of these glimmers and provides checklists and mini exercises so you can record your journey. Glimmers is not just a book - it's a roadmap to uncovering the extraordinary in the everyday, empowering readers to live with wonder, purpose and boundless possibility.
